New Ford 5.0, DOHC 412hp, dual cam phasing - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

Tried to find the thread about the future of LT5 technology but couldn't...

Article below is pretty interesting. DOHC heads on 5.0L for 412 naturally aspirated horsepower, dual cam phasing. I wonder what GM could do with DOHC heads on 6.2L???

I thought it was interesting the comment that direct injection would not be implemented due to cost and schedule and that it would provide a marginal performance increase due to higher compression ratio; 12:1 vs 11:1. I wonder if they will implement DI for better fuel economy or clean emissions?

".... an extra pulley on the front of the crankshaft betray plans to add a supercharger to future models...."

I love it when people plan ahead.
